Scott Martin, Kim G. Christensen - Market progress in natural refrigerant technologies
PDF document
published on 18 June 2014
Scott Martin from Hillphoenix discusses the market potential for CO2 and points out its fast growth in Central Europe. He also highlights the fact that for Europe’s TOP10 retailers, CO2 booster systems represent their first technology choice, a trend he believes will continue in the coming years. Kim Christensen from Advansor points out that the demand for transcritical CO2 systems in Europe is expected to grow rapidly resulting in a significant boost with respect to the annual production capacity. He also discusses incentives for investment in CO2 technology stemming from the F-Gas regulation.He awaits a reduction in first costs for CO2 transcritical boosters in small stores and recognises the uptake of the market for all-inclusive racks. Finally, he urges North America to invest in CO2 transcritical systems benefiting from the European experience.

Masood Ali - State of the industry
PDF document
published on 18 June 2014
Masood Ali discusses the latest updates relating to regulatory standards affecting natural refrigerants with a special focus on Europe, the US and Australia. These new policy trends will promote the use of alternative refrigerants such as CO2 and NH3, as well as help to develop more energy efficient and innovative, eco-friendly technologies. Ali’s presentation also focuses on barriers to commercialisation such as limited components suppliers, lack of harmonisation of regulatory standards, and technical challenges.

Jeffrey Gingras - State of the industry - challenges & growth. CO2, a world of evolution
PDF document
published on 18 June 2014
Jeffrey Gingras from Systemes LMP starts his presentation by providing a SWOT analysis of the market for CO2 technology. Gringras analyses the evolution of the use of both CO2 transcritical and CO2 cascade stores, also looking at prices compared to R404 and R22. Systemes LMP has a long track record of working with CO2, having developed their first CO2 cascade system in 2009 and their first transcritical system in 2013.
